BUT, I think we've lost Elvis for a while. If you saw the hit, then you know what I'm talking about. Hopefully it's just a bone bruise and he'll be back for next week, but it didn't look that way to me.

Also, Eric Hicks looks like he hurt his knee pretty bad. If we lose our best DL for a while, then we're really gonna be in trouble.

Sorry to rain on the parade, but I was getting all excited about the rest of the season and then to see that happen . . . . . man.

Hopefully neither are serious and I'm just prematurely reacting, but I'm a little worried at the moment.

However, on a positive note, SlyMo and Tony G. are okay after also going out at different points in the game.

PLEASE ELVIS & ERIC . . . . be okay!!!!

CASHMAN: This really scares me because IF Elvis is out for a while, I don't think Old Man Moon can lead us anywhere. Oh, sure, he might have a few moments where he looks okay, but he'll also look like the 40 year old QB that he is a lot of the time. Elvis has SLOWLY developed into one of the better QB's in the NFL and this offense will definitely miss a HUGE beat without him!!

I'm scared about both these injuries (Hicks and Grbac). Hopefully Hicks' is just a strain (a one or two week thing) and not a serious injury. We have good depth at the position, at least. They originally said they thought Grbac had a shoulder contusion. Could someone please explain this injury and its seriousness?

Gun just said neither looked too serious. However, we did get banged up on both sides of the ball. Elvis said, "I feel good but has a little soreness in his elbow. He'll get an MRI tomorrow." Sounded positive. Lets keep our fingers crossed. While many have been critical of him, I think it's obvious he's our leader! Get well soon!
